It isn’t hard to find lawyers who offer to do your bankruptcy for $499. Just take a look on craigslist.org or backpage.com. You’ll also find these offers on the ads when you do a search for bankruptcy attorneys. Take a look at their websites. You’ll see the same offers there.

I encourage potential clients who are looking for a cheap Colorado bankruptcy lawyer to make an appointment with one of these attorneys for a consultation. First, find out if the consultation is with an attorney or a legal assistant or paralegal. Unless you’re meeting with an attorney, you won’t be getting any legal advice when you go for the consultation.

Then, ask some questions. Ask what the $499 covers. Does it include more than just preparing your bankruptcy petition? Will the attorney talk to your creditors to let them know you are filing bankruptcy? Will the attorney be there with you when you go to the meeting of creditors? Will the attorney negotiate a reaffirmation agreement?

Take a look at the other cases they’ve filed. You can get a PACER account and search for cases they’ve filed. What have they charged other clients? $499? Or more?
